And he came out and did some dumb stuff and shot a couple of rounds through the house and we've got kids in there and everything, so it was pretty scared, pretty rough, traumatizing."
After police gathered information about the suspect a Rowlett police officer spotted his car traveling on Interstate-30, with two men inside. The pair was later identified as Zseron Dukes and Gary Grayson.The officer tried to stop the car but the driver sped off beginning what would be a 20-mile chase that eventually included Dallas police and the Air One helicopter.
